R T Samuel (b. 1999) is an editor and independent cultural producer working between London and New Delhi. He is the co-editor of the collection, The Blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF, which was helmed by a viral fundraiser that made it the second-most successful Indian publishing campaign in Kickstarter history. The book involved working with close to 30 authors, translators and artists for close to two years, and features stories from more than six different languages and diverse mediums. From 2021-23, he was also the writer and broadcaster behind the hugely popular (20k plays and counting) underground political and cultural education podcast Clear Blue Skies S1. A lapsed investigative and culture journalist, he is currently pursuing an MSc in Anthropology and Professional Practice at University College London and is always happy to talk about 80s SFF, public radio, collective futures literacy, liberation theology and Indian hip-hop.
